Service Engine Soon
If the service engine soon
indicator light stays
illuminated after the engine
is started, it indicates that the On
Board Diagnostics system (OBD) has
detected a malfunction of the vehicle
emissions control system. Refer to On
board diagnostics (OBD) in the Fuel
and Refueling chapter for more
information about having your vehicle
serviced. See Emission Control
System (page 179).
If the light is blinking, engine misfire is
occurring which could damage your
catalytic converter. Drive in a
moderate fashion (avoid heavy
acceleration and deceleration) and
have your vehicle serviced
immediately.
Note: Under engine misfire conditions,
excessive exhaust temperatures could
damage the catalytic converter or other
vehicle components.
The service engine soon indicator light
illuminates when the ignition is first
turned on prior to engine start to
check the bulb and to indicate
whether the vehicle is ready for
Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) testing.
Normally, the service engine soon light
will stay on until the engine is cranked,
then turn itself off if no malfunctions
are present. However, if after 15
seconds the service engine soon light
blinks eight times, it means that the
vehicle is not ready for I/M testing.
See
Emission Control System
(page 179). Stability Control It will flash when the system
is active. If it remains
illuminated or does not
illuminate when you switch the
ignition on, this indicates a

component fault/failure that
will cause the vehicle to
shutdown or enter into a limited
operating mode. A message may also
display.

•
Vehicle Range — Indicates the estimated distance the vehicle will travel
with the energy currently available. For Hybrid, the vehicle range estimate
is based on the fuel remaining in the gasoline tank. For Energi, the total
estimated range equals the range available in Hybrid Mode fueled by gasoline,
plus the electric range available in Plug-in Power Mode. Changes in driving
pattern may cause the values to vary.
• Inform
— Inform shows the fuel level, battery display and average fuel
economy, with options available for the Battery Display and an Instantaneous
Fuel Economy gauge. When the vehicle is operating on battery power only
with the engine off, EV is displayed.
• Enlighten
— Enlighten displays power demand in addition to the typical
information and options from Inform. The Instantaneous Fuel Economy
gauge will be displayed by default. When the vehicle is operating on battery
power only with the engine off, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown
in blue. When both the engine and high voltage battery are providing power
the gauge fill is white.
• Engage
— Engage replaces the power demand gauge from Enlighten with
separate gauges for engine power and high voltage battery power. The
engine power gauge fill is white and the high voltage battery power gauge
fill is blue. When the vehicle is operating on battery power only with the
engine off, EV is displayed.
• Empower — Empower adds an engine on/off threshold to the power demand
gauge from Enlighten. The threshold is shown as a blue double outline. The
gauge is designed to show you how close you are to the gasoline engine
on/off threshold and how much power you are requesting based on how far
you press the accelerator pedal.
When power demand is below the threshold the vehicle is operating on battery
power only with the engine off, EV is displayed and the gauge fill is shown in
blue.
When power demand exceeds the threshold both the engine and the high
voltage battery provide power and the gauge fill is white.
When power demand surpasses the amber indicator, this level of demand and
associated fuel economy are shown in amber.
